UPDATE Well, we did say that Gus van Sant’s “The Sea of Trees” was going to be a bomb. And it was.

After playing in one theater for five days, “The Sea of Trees,” starring Matthew McConaughey and Naomi Watts, has made $2,730.

The one theater is the Sundance Sunset Cinema, in West Hollywood.

Here’s the funny part. The movie made about $600,000 in Italy in May. Huh? Maybe it caused the earthquake.

I guess video is next, VOD or iTunes, like “Blood Father.” Unlike with “Blood Father” at least “Sea of Trees” posted their box office.
